How can you love Automobiles, knowing they kill so many: Vanity
today | self

Posted on 08/30/2016 10:25:09 AM PDT by BornToBeAmerican

Seems to me that the bill-boards I see state how many 1,000's of people have died so far on Texan roads. Yet to see a bill-board warning about how many deaths coursed by guns.

Bottom line, I am more concerned about the nut behind the wheel of car than I am about a finger on a finger. Truthfully, I know no one who has been shot but plenty who have been either killed or maimed in automobile accidents.

“My car allows me to escape my ex. That’s worth an a ton of money to me.”

I presume that’s because the joy of escaping is priceless.

“Bottom line, I am more concerned about the nut behind the wheel of car than I am about a finger on a finger.”

I regard other drivers as demons from Hell on a mission to kill me.

“Defensive” doesn’t even begin to describe the way I drive.

“8. those on the phone gabbing or those gabbing with a passenger;”

I think before they give a license, a person should have to drive a gymkhana course while eating a cheeseburger, drinking a beer, smoking a cigar, and discussing a complicated subject on the cell phone, while one’s spouse gets frisky with their lap from the passenger’s seat.

If you knock down a pylon, or if you fail to eat the burger, drink your beer, and smoke your cigar, or if you lose track of the conversation or drop anything, no license.

Some Americans were practically BORN in a car. Actually, some Americans were CONCEIVED in a car.

Half American Staffordshire Terrier and half Black Lab. American Staffordshires are often called Pit Bulls. Mine’s 85 lb. And super friendly.
